Have you ever felt powerless in the face of someone's suffering?

Life is full of challenges that can leave deep scars on people's lives. They often struggle with unresolved traumas, and emotional pain can intensify if left untreated. Unfortunately, these are things that don't get better with time.

But I, Esly Carvalho, discovered the power of desensitizing memories through the natural mechanism our brain possesses. It's called Adaptive Information Processing: it allows us to break through our neurochemical limitations, enabling the power of choice to emerge. You are not alone in this struggle, and it's understandable to feel powerless. The good news is that there's a way to make a difference in people's lives!

Given so many conflicts and life challenges, there has been a growing number of people needing attention and care to overcome their traumas and suffering.

This program consists of practical teachings designed to empower leaders, pastors, priests and nuns, chaplains, and Christian paraprofessionals who work directly with the community. It aims to enable them to offer relief, comfort, and restoration in adverse situations or disasters. Developed for group use, it serves to help effect emotional recovery within a pastoral perspective.

Discover the power of emotional recovery!

The objective of this course is to train its participants to be capable of performing practical interventions that minimize the discomfort and negative impact of adverse life events.  

With a biblical approach, understanding that the spiritual has an important influence on the emotional, the program uses exercises based on the Adaptive Information Processing Theory, which can reduce the state of emotional disturbance by stimulating and reorganizing difficult memories.

This program is for you only if you want to:

  • Connect with a community of people dedicated to emotional transformation and recovery

This program is open to Christian paraprofessionals (doctors, nurses, firefighters, paramedics, social workers, psychopedagogues, therapists), to leaders in ecclesiastical roles (pastors, counselors, priests, nuns, chaplains), and to Christian psychotherapy professionals (psychologists and psychiatrists) who are engaged in or have the possibility of implementing the exercises from this course within their ecclesiastical communities. It adopts a pastoral stance and follows Christian biblical principles.

With in-depth theory and practice, you will master group interventions and help many people at once!

This program is divided into three parts:  

  • Part 1: Modules 1 to 5 (recorded lessons) that provide an initial theoretical introduction to trauma, teach stabilization, desensitization, and reprocessing exercises. The recorded videos offer the basic information with which you will become familiar to answer questions from those you will assist. There is a quiz at the end of each module, requiring a 70% passing rate for you to advance to the next module.
  • Part 2: In Module 6 (5 hours live), practical exercises are taught, which are necessary for the full implementation of the program with others in the future. Participation in this live training is required to ensure a better understanding and to develop the necessary skills and practical confidence. Each participant will have the opportunity to experience the personal impact of the exercises, as well as practice the exercises with their peers in small groups.
  • Part 3: Two hours of mandatory supervision, conducted live online, in order to monitor the students' work development. Only after supervision does the student receive the course certificate.

Empower yourself to help others overcome adversities and traumas with an innovative and transformative program.

There are several approaches to emotional recovery, but many of them lack a practical and spiritual connection. This program stands out by integrating the Adaptive Information Processing Theory with a pastoral perspective, offering a holistic solution that truly works.  

Although it has a therapeutic effect, as many techniques do, this is not psychotherapy, which is a much longer process implemented by properly trained professionals.

We also emphasize in this program the importance of knowing when to refer individuals to appropriate professionals in cases where specialized support is necessary.
